Description

一种角度偏差的修正方法及装置A method and device for correcting angle deviation 技术领域Technical Field
本申请涉及转向技术领域,尤其涉及一种角度偏差的修正方法及装置。The present application relates to the field of steering technology, and in particular to a method and device for correcting an angle deviation.
背景技术Background technique
随着智能控制技术和通信技术的飞速发展,车辆的自动驾驶得以实现。线控(drive-by-wire)底盘(即车辆底盘线控化)是实现自动驾驶的关键因素。线控转向(steering by wire,SbW)系统是线控底盘中主要系统之一。与传统的电动助力转向(electric power steering,EPS)系统相比,SbW系统可以使得车辆在自动驾驶时,方向盘不跟随车轮随动(此时方向盘处于“静默”状态),以减少车辆在自动驾驶的过程中由于方向盘随动而带来的不适感。但是,由于方向盘“静默”状态的存在,当车辆处于转弯状态时,方向盘与转向执行器不同步,即方向盘的角度与转向执行器的角度不同,方向盘和转向执行器之间存在一定的角度偏差,若此时自动驾驶模式退出或驾驶员接管车辆的驾驶权限,导致驾驶员在驾驶时难以预判车辆的行使轨迹,影响驾驶安全,驾驶体验感差。With the rapid development of intelligent control technology and communication technology, the automatic driving of vehicles has been realized. Drive-by-wire chassis (i.e., vehicle chassis wire control) is a key factor in realizing automatic driving. The steering by wire (SbW) system is one of the main systems in the drive-by-wire chassis. Compared with the traditional electric power steering (EPS) system, the SbW system can make the steering wheel not follow the wheels when the vehicle is in automatic driving (the steering wheel is in a "silent" state at this time), so as to reduce the discomfort caused by the steering wheel following the vehicle during the automatic driving process. However, due to the existence of the "silent" state of the steering wheel, when the vehicle is in a turning state, the steering wheel and the steering actuator are not synchronized, that is, the angle of the steering wheel is different from the angle of the steering actuator, and there is a certain angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator. If the automatic driving mode is exited or the driver takes over the driving authority of the vehicle at this time, it will make it difficult for the driver to predict the vehicle's driving trajectory when driving, affecting driving safety and poor driving experience.

在介绍本申请实施例之前,首先对线控转向系统的相关知识进行介绍说明。Before introducing the embodiments of the present application, relevant knowledge of the steer-by-wire system is first introduced.
随着智能控制技术和通信技术的飞速发展,车辆的自动驾驶得以实现。线控 (drive-by-wire)底盘(即车辆底盘线控化)是实现自动驾驶的关键因素。线控转向(steering by wire,SbW)系统是线控底盘中主要系统之一,SbW系统包括方向控制装置(也可以称为方向盘总成)、转向执行总成和控制器等,其中,方向控制装置可以包括方向盘,转向执行总成可以包括转向执行器(即车轮)。与传统的电动助力转向(electric power steering,EPS)系统相比,SbW系统可以使得车辆在自动驾驶时,方向盘不跟随车轮随动(此时方向盘处于“静默”状态),以减少车辆在自动驾驶的过程中由于方向盘随动而带来的不适感。但是,由于方向盘“静默”状态的存在,当车辆处于转弯状态时,方向盘与转向执行器不同步,即方向盘的角度与转向执行器的角度不同,方向盘和转向执行器之间存在一定的角度偏差,若此时自动驾驶模式退出或驾驶员接管车辆的驾驶权限,导致驾驶员在驾驶时难以预判车辆的行使轨迹,影响驾驶安全,驾驶体验感差。图1为一种方向盘处于静默状态的示意图,图1中包括方向盘和车轮,由图1可知,当车轮处于转弯状态时,方向盘处于中间位置,此时,车轮相对于车辆的中位线之间的角度为θ1,方向盘相对于中位线重合,即方向盘相对于中位线的角度为0°,方向盘与车轮之间的夹角为θ1,即方向盘与车轮之间的角度偏差为θ1。目前通过以下两种方案减小角度偏差。With the rapid development of intelligent control technology and communication technology, the automatic driving of vehicles has been realized. Drive-by-wire chassis (i.e., vehicle chassis wire control) is a key factor in realizing automatic driving. The steering by wire (SbW) system is one of the main systems in the drive-by-wire chassis. The SbW system includes a direction control device (also known as a steering wheel assembly), a steering execution assembly, and a controller, etc., wherein the direction control device may include a steering wheel, and the steering execution assembly may include a steering actuator (i.e., a wheel). Compared with the traditional electric power steering (EPS) system, the SbW system can make the steering wheel not follow the wheel when the vehicle is driving automatically (the steering wheel is in a "silent" state at this time), so as to reduce the discomfort caused by the steering wheel following the vehicle during the automatic driving process. However, due to the existence of the "silent" state of the steering wheel, when the vehicle is in a turning state, the steering wheel is not synchronized with the steering actuator, that is, the angle of the steering wheel is different from the angle of the steering actuator, and there is a certain angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator. If the automatic driving mode is exited or the driver takes over the driving authority of the vehicle at this time, it will be difficult for the driver to predict the vehicle's driving trajectory while driving, affecting driving safety and poor driving experience. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a steering wheel in a silent state. Figure 1 includes a steering wheel and a wheel. It can be seen from Figure 1 that when the wheel is in a turning state, the steering wheel is in the middle position. At this time, the angle between the wheel and the midline of the vehicle is θ1, and the steering wheel coincides with the midline, that is, the angle of the steering wheel relative to the midline is 0°, and the angle between the steering wheel and the wheel is θ1, that is, the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the wheel is θ1. At present, the following two schemes are used to reduce the angle deviation.
方案一:在自动驾驶模式退出或驾驶员接管车辆的驾驶权限后,保持车轮不动,转动方向盘,直到方向盘的角度和转向执行器的角度重合后,车轮开始移动,以减小方向盘和转向执行器之间的角度偏差。但是,该方案中会产生驾驶员非预期的转向,驾驶体验感差。Solution 1: After the autonomous driving mode is exited or the driver takes over the driving authority of the vehicle, the wheels are kept stationary and the steering wheel is turned until the angle of the steering wheel coincides with the angle of the steering actuator, and then the wheels begin to move to reduce the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator. However, this solution will cause the driver to make unexpected turns, resulting in a poor driving experience.
方案二:在自动驾驶模式退出或驾驶员接管车辆的驾驶权限后,保持角度偏差直到下一个点火循环,在下一个点火循环时消除角度偏差。但是,在当前点火循环中,由于角度偏差的存在,使得车辆在处于直行状态时,方向盘可能不在中间位置,导致驾驶员难以判断车辆的行驶轨迹,影响驾驶安全,驾驶体验感差。Solution 2: After the automatic driving mode is exited or the driver takes over the driving authority of the vehicle, the angle deviation is maintained until the next ignition cycle, and the angle deviation is eliminated in the next ignition cycle. However, in the current ignition cycle, due to the existence of the angle deviation, the steering wheel may not be in the middle position when the vehicle is in a straight state, making it difficult for the driver to judge the vehicle's driving trajectory, affecting driving safety and poor driving experience.
图2为一种人工驾驶时方向盘与车轮的示意图,由图2可知,车辆处于直行状态,方向盘不在中间位置,此时,车轮相对于车辆中位线的角度为0°,方向盘相对于中位线的角度为θ1,方向盘与车轮之间的夹角为θ1,即方向盘与车轮之间的角度偏差为θ1。Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a steering wheel and a wheel during manual driving. It can be seen from Figure 2 that the vehicle is in a straight-ahead state and the steering wheel is not in the middle position. At this time, the angle of the wheel relative to the vehicle's midline is 0°, the angle of the steering wheel relative to the midline is θ1, and the angle between the steering wheel and the wheel is θ1, that is, the angular deviation between the steering wheel and the wheel is θ1.
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种角度偏差的修正方法,应用于转向系统,该转向系统包括转向执行器和方向控制装置,该方向控制装置包括方向盘,该方法包括:当该车辆从第一模式切换至第二模式,且驾驶员在第一时刻转动该方向盘之后,获取该方向盘相对于该中位线的第一角度,其中,在该第一模式下该转向执行器和该方向控制装置解耦合,在该第二模式下该转向执行器和该方向控制装置耦合;若该方向盘与该转向执行器之间的第一角度偏差的绝对值大于预设角度阈值,则根据该第一角度和该第三角度,修正该第一角度偏差,得到第二角度偏差,其中,该第二角度偏差的绝对值小于或等于该预设角度阈值,该第一角度偏差为该第二角度与该第三角度的差值,该第二角度和该第三角度分别为该车辆在该第一模式时,该转向执行器在第二时刻相对于中位线的角度,以及该方向盘在该第二时刻相对于该中位线的角度,该第二时刻位于该第一时刻之前。在该方法中,当该向盘与该转向执行器之间的第一角度偏差的绝对值大于预设角度阈值时,根据方向盘在第一时刻的第一角度,以及位于该第一时刻之前的第二时刻的第三角度,修正该向盘与该转向执行器之间的第一角度偏差得到第二角度偏差,使得修正后的第二角度偏差小于或者等于该预设角度阈值,减小了该 方向盘与该转向执行器之间角度偏差,使得驾驶员可以预判车辆的行使轨迹,保证了驾驶安全;进一步,提高了驾驶体验感。Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for correcting an angle deviation, which is applied to a steering system, wherein the steering system includes a steering actuator and a direction control device, wherein the direction control device includes a steering wheel, and the method includes: when the vehicle switches from a first mode to a second mode, and after the driver turns the steering wheel at a first moment, obtaining a first angle of the steering wheel relative to the median line, wherein in the first mode, the steering actuator and the direction control device are decoupled, and in the second mode, the steering actuator and the direction control device are coupled; if the absolute value of the first angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator is greater than a preset angle threshold, then according to the first angle and the third angle, correcting the first angle deviation to obtain a second angle deviation, wherein the absolute value of the second angle deviation is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, the first angle deviation is the difference between the second angle and the third angle, the second angle and the third angle are respectively the angle of the steering actuator relative to the median line at the second moment when the vehicle is in the first mode, and the angle of the steering wheel relative to the median line at the second moment, and the second moment is located before the first moment. In this method, when the absolute value of the first angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator is greater than a preset angle threshold, the first angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator is corrected to obtain a second angle deviation based on the first angle of the steering wheel at the first moment and the third angle at the second moment before the first moment, so that the corrected second angle deviation is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, thereby reducing the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator, allowing the driver to predict the vehicle's driving trajectory and ensuring driving safety; further, the driving experience is improved.

下面基于图3所示的线控转向系统,对本申请实施例提供的角度偏差的修正方法进行详细的说明。The following is a detailed description of the angle deviation correction method provided in the embodiment of the present application based on the wire control steering system shown in FIG. 3 .
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种角度偏差的修正方法的流程图,该方法包括:FIG4 is a flow chart of a method for correcting an angle deviation provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising:
S401:当该车辆从第一模式切换至第二模式,且驾驶员在第一时刻转动该方向盘之后,获取该方向盘相对于该中位线的第一角度,其中,在该第一模式下该转向执行器和该方向控制装置解耦合,在该第二模式下该转向执行器和该方向控制装置耦合。S401: When the vehicle switches from the first mode to the second mode and after the driver turns the steering wheel at a first moment, a first angle of the steering wheel relative to the center line is obtained, wherein in the first mode the steering actuator and the direction control device are decoupled, and in the second mode the steering actuator and the direction control device are coupled.
其中,该第一模式为自动驾驶模式,该自动驾驶模式可以包括:辅助驾驶模式,半自动驾驶模式和全自动驾驶模式。在该第一模式下该转向执行器和该方向控制装置解耦合,即该第一模式下该方向控制装置中的方向盘不跟随该转向执行器转动。The first mode is an automatic driving mode, which may include an assisted driving mode, a semi-automatic driving mode and a fully automatic driving mode. In the first mode, the steering actuator and the direction control device are decoupled, that is, in the first mode, the steering wheel in the direction control device does not rotate with the steering actuator.
其次,第二模式为人工驾驶模式,人工驾驶模式可以为该车辆退出自动驾驶模式或者驾驶员接管方向盘后的模式。在该第二模式下该转向执行器和该方向控制装置耦合,即在第二模式下该转向执行器与该方向控制装置同步,即该转向执行器跟随该方向控制装置中的方向盘转动。Secondly, the second mode is the manual driving mode, which can be the mode after the vehicle exits the automatic driving mode or the driver takes over the steering wheel. In the second mode, the steering actuator is coupled with the direction control device, that is, in the second mode, the steering actuator is synchronized with the direction control device, that is, the steering actuator rotates following the steering wheel in the direction control device.
再者,该中位线为车辆的前端与后端中点的连线。该中位线也可以称为中线。Furthermore, the median line is a line connecting the midpoints of the front end and the rear end of the vehicle. The median line can also be called a center line.
具体的,可以通过方向控制装置中的角度传感器来获取该方向盘的第一角度。其中,该第一时刻可以为该车辆从该第一模式切换至第二模式时,驾驶员第一次改变方向盘角度的时刻,此时,该第一时刻为该车辆的当前时刻。比如,车辆从该自动驾驶模式切换至人工驾驶模式的时刻为T0,在T0时刻驾驶员并没有该变方向盘的角度,在T1时刻,驾驶员转动方向盘,该T1时刻为第一时刻。Specifically, the first angle of the steering wheel can be obtained by an angle sensor in the direction control device. The first moment can be the moment when the driver changes the steering wheel angle for the first time when the vehicle switches from the first mode to the second mode. At this time, the first moment is the current moment of the vehicle. For example, the moment when the vehicle switches from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode is T0. At T0, the driver does not change the steering wheel angle. At T1, the driver turns the steering wheel. The T1 moment is the first moment.
S402:若该方向盘与该转向执行器之间的第一角度偏差的绝对值大于预设角度阈值,则根据该第一角度和该第三角度,修正该第一角度偏差,得到第二角度偏差,其中,该第二角度偏差的绝对值小于或等于该预设角度阈值,该第一角度偏差为该第二角度与该第三角度的差值,该第二角度和该第三角度分别为该车辆在该第一模式时,该转向执行器在第二时刻相对于中位线的角度,以及该方向盘在该第二时刻相对于该中位线的角度,该第二时刻位于该第一时刻之前。S402: If the absolute value of a first angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator is greater than a preset angle threshold, the first angle deviation is corrected according to the first angle and the third angle to obtain a second angle deviation, wherein the absolute value of the second angle deviation is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, the first angle deviation is the difference between the second angle and the third angle, the second angle and the third angle are respectively the angle of the steering actuator relative to the center line at a second moment when the vehicle is in the first mode, and the angle of the steering wheel relative to the center line at the second moment, and the second moment is before the first moment.
其中,该第二时刻可以为第一模式下的时刻,比如,在一种可能的实现方式中,该第二时刻可以为该车辆从该第一模式切换到该第二模式的时刻。The second moment may be a moment in the first mode. For example, in a possible implementation, the second moment may be a moment when the vehicle switches from the first mode to the second mode.
在步骤S401之前,该方法还可以包括:当车辆处于该第一模式且该转向执行器和该方向盘之间存在夹角时,获取转向执行器相对于该中位线的第二角度,以及该方向 盘对于该中位线的第三角度。Before step S401, the method may further include: when the vehicle is in the first mode and there is an angle between the steering actuator and the steering wheel, obtaining a second angle of the steering actuator relative to the center line and a third angle of the steering wheel relative to the center line.
具体的,可以通过转向执行总成中的角度传感器来获取该执行器相对于中位线的第二角度,通过方向控制装置中的角度传感器来获取该方向盘相对于该中位线的第三角度。Specifically, the second angle of the actuator relative to the midline can be obtained through an angle sensor in the steering actuator assembly, and the third angle of the steering wheel relative to the midline can be obtained through an angle sensor in the direction control device.
其中,由于线控转向系统可以使得车辆处于自动驾驶模式时,方向盘处于“静默”状态,即方向盘不跟随车轮随动。当车辆处于转弯状态时,方向盘与转向执行器不同步,即该转向执行器的角度和该方向盘的角度不同,使得转向执行器和该方向盘之间存在夹角,即使得转向执行器和该方向盘之间存在角度偏差。此时,该转向执行器相对于该中位线的角度可以为该第二角度θ2,该方向盘相对于该中位线的角度可以为该第三角度θ3,该第二角度θ2与该三角度θ3不同,第二角度θ2与该三角度θ3之间的差值为该转向执行器与该方向盘之间的第一角度偏差。Among them, since the wire control steering system can make the steering wheel in a "silent" state when the vehicle is in the automatic driving mode, that is, the steering wheel does not follow the wheels. When the vehicle is in a turning state, the steering wheel and the steering actuator are not synchronized, that is, the angle of the steering actuator is different from the angle of the steering wheel, so that there is an angle between the steering actuator and the steering wheel, that is, there is an angle deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel. At this time, the angle of the steering actuator relative to the median line can be the second angle θ2, and the angle of the steering wheel relative to the median line can be the third angle θ3. The second angle θ2 is different from the third angle θ3, and the difference between the second angle θ2 and the third angle θ3 is the first angle deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel.
其中,该预设角度阈值可以为该车辆能够承受的最大的角度偏差,比如,该预设角度阈值可以为10°,不同的车辆对应不同的预设角度阈值。该预设角度阈值可以根据实际的需求和相关工作人员的经验去设定,本申请实施例对此不做具体的限定。The preset angle threshold may be the maximum angle deviation that the vehicle can withstand, for example, the preset angle threshold may be 10°, and different vehicles correspond to different preset angle thresholds. The preset angle threshold may be set according to actual needs and the experience of relevant staff, and the present application embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.
在实际应用中,当车辆从该自动驾驶模式切换至人工驾驶模式时,车辆的车轮跟随方向盘而转动,即转向执行器与该方向盘同步,比如,当驾驶员给方向盘一个转动角度时,转向执行器也以相同的角度而转动,即人工驾驶模式时,该转向执行器与该方向盘之间不会产生额外的角度偏差,但是,自动驾驶模式时该转向执行器与该方向盘之间的第一角度偏差任然存在。In actual application, when the vehicle switches from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode, the wheels of the vehicle follow the steering wheel to rotate, that is, the steering actuator is synchronized with the steering wheel. For example, when the driver gives the steering wheel a rotation angle, the steering actuator also rotates at the same angle, that is, in the manual driving mode, no additional angle deviation will be generated between the steering actuator and the steering wheel. However, in the automatic driving mode, the first angle deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel still exists.
另外,该第一角度偏差为该第二角度θ2与该第三角度θ3的差值。第一角度偏差θd1满足公式(1):In addition, the first angle deviation is the difference between the second angle θ2 and the third angle θ3. The first angle deviation θd1 satisfies formula (1):
θd1=θ2-θ3        (1)θd1=θ2-θ3        (1)
其中,当第二角度θ2大于第三角度θ3时,该第一角度偏差θd1大于0,即第一偏差为正数;当第二角度θ2小于第三角度θ3时,该第一角度偏差θd1小于0,即第一偏差为负数。When the second angle θ2 is greater than the third angle θ3, the first angle deviation θd1 is greater than 0, that is, the first deviation is a positive number; when the second angle θ2 is less than the third angle θ3, the first angle deviation θd1 is less than 0, that is, the first deviation is a negative number.
由于驾驶员在第一时刻转动方向盘,使得第一时刻的方向盘的第一角度与第二时刻方向盘的第三角度不同,即使得第一时刻的方向盘的第一角度与第二时刻方向盘的第三角度之间存在第一角度差值,比如,该第一角度差值可以为5°。Because the driver turns the steering wheel at the first moment, the first angle of the steering wheel at the first moment is different from the third angle of the steering wheel at the second moment, that is, there is a first angle difference between the first angle of the steering wheel at the first moment and the third angle of the steering wheel at the second moment. For example, the first angle difference may be 5°.
另外,当第一角度偏差θd1的绝对值大于该预设角度阈值时,则表示角度偏差修正功能使能,即该线控转向系统开启角度偏差修正。下面将该第一角度偏差的修正过程进行说明。In addition, when the absolute value of the first angle deviation θd1 is greater than the preset angle threshold, it indicates that the angle deviation correction function is enabled, that is, the steer-by-wire system turns on the angle deviation correction. The correction process of the first angle deviation is described below.
进一步的,根据该第一角度和该第三角度,修正该第一角度偏差得到第二角度偏差,即根据该方向盘在第一时刻的第一角度与第二时刻的第三角度,修正该第一角度偏差得到第二角度偏差。具体的,根据该第一角度、该第三角度和修正系数,确定修正步长;根据该修正步长,修正该第一角度偏差得到该第二角度偏差。Further, according to the first angle and the third angle, the first angle deviation is corrected to obtain the second angle deviation, that is, according to the first angle of the steering wheel at the first moment and the third angle at the second moment, the first angle deviation is corrected to obtain the second angle deviation. Specifically, according to the first angle, the third angle and the correction coefficient, a correction step length is determined; according to the correction step length, the first angle deviation is corrected to obtain the second angle deviation.
其中,根据该方向盘的该第一角度θ1与第三角度θ3的差值的绝对值和修正系数K,确定修正步长。修正步长L满足公式(2):The correction step length is determined according to the absolute value of the difference between the first angle θ1 and the third angle θ3 of the steering wheel and the correction coefficient K. The correction step length L satisfies formula (2):
L=|θ1-θ3|×K      (2)L=|θ1-θ3|×K      (2)
另外,该修正系数K与该预设角度阈值有关。修正系数K可以根据预期的修正的 速度进行设定,在满足修正条件的情况下,修正系数K越大,该第一角度偏差的修正速度越快;修正系数K越小,该第一角度偏差的修正速度越慢。该修正系数K可以根据实际的需求和相关工作人员的经验去设定,本申请实施例对此不做具体的限定。In addition, the correction coefficient K is related to the preset angle threshold. The correction coefficient K can be set according to the expected correction speed. When the correction condition is met, the larger the correction coefficient K, the faster the correction speed of the first angle deviation; the smaller the correction coefficient K, the slower the correction speed of the first angle deviation. The correction coefficient K can be set according to actual needs and the experience of relevant staff, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.
由公式(2)可知,该方向盘在第一时刻的角度,以及与第二时刻的角度之间存在角度差值时,线控转向系统可以修正该角度偏差。比如,在一种可能的实施例中,车辆从该自动驾驶模式切换至人工驾驶模式的时刻为第二时刻T2,此时该方向盘的角度为该第三角度θ3,在车辆处于人工驾驶模式后的T1时刻,驾驶员并没有该变方向盘的角度,此时该方向盘的角度为任然该第三角度θ3,即该方向盘在第二时刻T2,以及T1时刻的角度相同,不存在角度差值,此时,该线控转向系统不对该第一角度偏差进行修正。It can be seen from formula (2) that when there is an angle difference between the angle of the steering wheel at the first moment and the angle at the second moment, the wire steering system can correct the angle deviation. For example, in a possible embodiment, the moment when the vehicle switches from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode is the second moment T2, at which time the angle of the steering wheel is the third angle θ3, and at the moment T1 after the vehicle is in the manual driving mode, the driver does not change the angle of the steering wheel, and at this time the angle of the steering wheel is still the third angle θ3, that is, the angle of the steering wheel at the second moment T2 and the moment T1 is the same, and there is no angle difference, and at this time, the wire steering system does not correct the first angle deviation.
进一步的,该根据该修正步长,修正该第一角度偏差得到该第二角度偏差,包括:若该第一角度偏差θd1大于零,则使用该第一角度偏差θd1与该修正步长L之差,修正该第一角度偏差θd1,得到该第二角度偏差θd2,该第二角度偏差θd2满足公式(3):Further, the first angle deviation is corrected according to the correction step length to obtain the second angle deviation, including: if the first angle deviation θd1 is greater than zero, the first angle deviation θd1 is corrected using the difference between the first angle deviation θd1 and the correction step length L to obtain the second angle deviation θd2, and the second angle deviation θd2 satisfies formula (3):
θd2=θd1-L         (3)θd2=θd1-L         (3)
若该第一角度偏差θd1小于零,则使用该第一角度偏差θd1与该修正步长L之和,修正该第一角度偏差θd1,得到该第二角度偏差θd2,该第二角度偏差θd2满足公式(4):If the first angle deviation θd1 is less than zero, the sum of the first angle deviation θd1 and the correction step length L is used to correct the first angle deviation θd1 to obtain the second angle deviation θd2. The second angle deviation θd2 satisfies formula (4):
θd2=θd1+L        (4)θd2=θd1+L        (4)
进一步的,根据该修正步长,修正该第一角度偏差,得到该第二角度偏差,还包括:根据该第一角度和该第三角度,修正该第一角度偏差,得到第三角度偏差。Further, according to the correction step, the first angle deviation is corrected to obtain the second angle deviation, and further includes: according to the first angle and the third angle, the first angle deviation is corrected to obtain the third angle deviation.
在一种可能的实施例中,若该第三角度偏差的绝对值小于或等于该预设角度阈值,此时,该第三角度偏差等于该第二角度偏差,则停止修正。在该实施例中,通过一次修正使得该转向执行器和方向盘之间的角度偏差小于或等于该预设角度阈值,减小了该方向盘与该转向执行器之间角度偏差,使得驾驶员可以预判车辆的行使轨迹,保证了驾驶安全,提高了驾驶体验感;另一方面,通过一次修正使得该方向盘与该转向执行器之间角度偏差满足车辆的行使要求,提高了修正的速度和效率。In a possible embodiment, if the absolute value of the third angle deviation is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, at this time, the third angle deviation is equal to the second angle deviation, and the correction is stopped. In this embodiment, through one correction, the angle deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator is reduced, so that the driver can predict the driving trajectory of the vehicle, ensure driving safety, and improve the driving experience; on the other hand, through one correction, the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator meets the driving requirements of the vehicle, which improves the speed and efficiency of the correction.
在另一种可能的实施例中,若该第三角度偏差的绝对值大于该预设角度阈值,则驾驶员在第三时刻转动方向盘之后,获取该方向盘相对于该中位线的第四角度,该第三时刻为该第一时刻的下一个时刻;根据该第四角度和该第一角度,通过至少一次修正将该第三角度偏差修正为该第二角度偏差,即根据当前时刻的第四角度,以及与该当前时刻相邻的上一时刻的第一角度,通过至少一次修正将该第三角度偏差修正为该第二角度偏差。In another possible embodiment, if the absolute value of the third angle deviation is greater than the preset angle threshold, the driver obtains a fourth angle of the steering wheel relative to the midline after turning the steering wheel at a third moment, and the third moment is the next moment of the first moment; based on the fourth angle and the first angle, the third angle deviation is corrected to the second angle deviation through at least one correction, that is, based on the fourth angle at the current moment and the first angle at the previous moment adjacent to the current moment, the third angle deviation is corrected to the second angle deviation through at least one correction.
其中,该第三时刻T3为与该第一时刻T1相邻的下一个时刻,该第一时刻T1为与该第三时刻T3相邻的上一时刻,此时,该第三时刻T3为该车辆的当前时刻。具体的,在该第三时刻T3驾驶员转动方向盘,使得第三时刻T3的第四角度θ4与该第一时刻T1的第一角度θ1存在第二角度差值。The third moment T3 is the next moment adjacent to the first moment T1, and the first moment T1 is the previous moment adjacent to the third moment T3. At this time, the third moment T3 is the current moment of the vehicle. Specifically, at the third moment T3, the driver turns the steering wheel so that the fourth angle θ4 at the third moment T3 and the first angle θ1 at the first moment T1 have a second angle difference.
在实际应用中,该第一角度差值和该第二角度差值可以相同,也可以不同。在第一种可能的实现方式中,该第二角度差值可以与该第一角度差值相等,比如,该第一角度差值等于该第二角度差值且均为5°,由于第一角度差值等于第二角度差值,修正系数K为定值,则两次修正时的修正步长相等,此时该修正为线性修正;在第二种 可能的实现方式中,该第二角度差值可以与该第一角度差值不相等,比如,该第一角度差值可以为等于5°,该第二角度差值可以等于10°。本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。In practical applications, the first angle difference and the second angle difference may be the same or different. In a first possible implementation, the second angle difference may be equal to the first angle difference, for example, the first angle difference is equal to the second angle difference and both are 5°. Since the first angle difference is equal to the second angle difference and the correction coefficient K is a constant, the correction step lengths during the two corrections are equal, and the correction is a linear correction at this time. In a second possible implementation, the second angle difference may not be equal to the first angle difference, for example, the first angle difference may be equal to 5° and the second angle difference may be equal to 10°. The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
具体的,根据该车辆的第三时刻T3(当前时刻)的第四角度θ4,以及与第一时刻T1(与当前时刻相邻的上一时刻)的第一角度θ1通过至少一次修正将该第三角度偏差修正为该第二角度偏差。其中,该第三角度偏差的修正过程与该第一角度偏差的修正过程类似,此处不再赘述。Specifically, the third angle deviation is corrected to the second angle deviation through at least one correction based on the fourth angle θ4 at the third moment T3 (current moment) of the vehicle and the first angle θ1 at the first moment T1 (previous moment adjacent to the current moment). The correction process of the third angle deviation is similar to the correction process of the first angle deviation, which will not be repeated here.
在该实施例中,通过多次修正使得该转向执行器和方向盘之间的角度偏差小于或等于该预设角度阈值,减小了该方向盘与该转向执行器之间角度偏差,使得驾驶员可以预判车辆的行使轨迹,保证了驾驶安全,提高了驾驶体验感。In this embodiment, multiple corrections are performed to make the angle deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, thereby reducing the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator, allowing the driver to predict the vehicle's driving trajectory, ensuring driving safety and improving the driving experience.
在一种可能的实施例中,该方法还包括:根据该方向盘与该转向执行器之间的该角度偏差,确定该方向盘的回正力矩系数;根据该回正力矩系数,确定增强回正力矩;根据该增强回正力矩,调整该方向盘相对于所述中位线的角度。其中,该回正力矩系数也可以称为主动回正力矩增强系数,该增强回正力矩与可以称为增强主动回正力矩。In a possible embodiment, the method further includes: determining a self-aligning torque coefficient of the steering wheel according to the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator; determining an enhanced self-aligning torque according to the self-aligning torque coefficient; and adjusting the angle of the steering wheel relative to the midline according to the enhanced self-aligning torque. The self-aligning torque coefficient may also be referred to as an active self-aligning torque enhancement coefficient, and the enhanced self-aligning torque may be referred to as an enhanced active self-aligning torque.
其中,不同的时刻该方向盘对应的回正力矩系数不同。当线控转向系统需要增强转向中位感时,该线控转向系统可以通过以下方式获得该回正力矩系数:第一种、该回正力矩系数可以是查表获得的,比如,该线控转向系统根据车辆在不同时刻的角度偏差进行查表,获得该方向盘在不同时刻的会正力矩系数;第二种,该回正力矩系数可以通过计算获得。在实际应用中,也可以通过上述两种方式中的任一种方式来获取该至少两个传感器的位置信息等,本申请实施例对此不作具体限制。Among them, the righting torque coefficient corresponding to the steering wheel is different at different times. When the wire-controlled steering system needs to enhance the steering neutral feel, the wire-controlled steering system can obtain the righting torque coefficient in the following ways: First, the righting torque coefficient can be obtained by looking up a table. For example, the wire-controlled steering system looks up a table based on the angular deviation of the vehicle at different times to obtain the righting torque coefficient of the steering wheel at different times; second, the righting torque coefficient can be obtained by calculation. In practical applications, the position information of the at least two sensors can also be obtained by any of the above two methods, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose specific restrictions on this.
下面以第一时刻为例,对该回正力矩系数的计算过程,以及增强回正力矩的确定过程进行说明。The following takes the first moment as an example to illustrate the calculation process of the self-aligning torque coefficient and the determination process of the enhanced self-aligning torque.
由于该方向盘的回正力矩系数K AR满足公式(5): Since the steering wheel's return torque coefficient K AR satisfies formula (5):
Figure PCTCN2022122911-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2022122911-appb-000001
其中,θ max为该转向执行器与该方向盘之间的最大角度偏差,θ d为第该转向执行器与该方向盘之间的角度偏差。 Among them, θ max is the maximum angular deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel, and θ d is the angular deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel.
则该方向盘在该第一时刻的回正力矩系数为K AR1满足公式(6): Then the steering wheel's self-aligning torque coefficient at the first moment is K AR1 , which satisfies formula (6):
Figure PCTCN2022122911-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2022122911-appb-000002
其中,θ d1为第一时刻该转向执行器与该方向盘之间的角度偏差。由于该方向盘增强回正力矩T EAR满足公式(7): Wherein, θ d1 is the angle deviation between the steering actuator and the steering wheel at the first moment. Since the enhanced self-aligning torque T EAR of the steering wheel satisfies formula (7):
T EAR=T AR×K AR       (7) T EAR =T AR ×K AR (7)
其中,T AR为该方向盘的回正力矩。则该方向盘在该第一时刻的增强回正力矩T EAR1满足公式(8): Wherein, T AR is the self-aligning torque of the steering wheel. Then the enhanced self-aligning torque T EAR1 of the steering wheel at the first moment satisfies formula (8):
T EAR1=T AR1×K AR1         (8) TEAR1TAR1 × KAR1 (8)
其中,T AR1为该方向盘在该第一时刻的回正力矩。对于除该第一时刻之外的其他时刻的回正力矩系数的计算过程,以及增强回正力矩的确定过程,与该第一时刻的回正力矩系数的计算过程,以及增强回正力矩的确定过程类似,此处不再赘述。 Wherein, T AR1 is the self-aligning torque of the steering wheel at the first moment. The calculation process of the self-aligning torque coefficient at other moments except the first moment and the determination process of the enhanced self-aligning torque are similar to the calculation process of the self-aligning torque coefficient at the first moment and the determination process of the enhanced self-aligning torque, and are not repeated here.
在该实施例中,可以通过增强主动回正力矩该调整方向盘相对于中位线的角度, 以增强转向中位感,提升车辆保持直行的能力。In this embodiment, the active return torque can be enhanced to adjust the angle of the steering wheel relative to the center line, so as to enhance the steering center feel and improve the vehicle's ability to keep going straight.
进一步的,该方法还包括:若该方向盘与该转向执行器之间的该角度偏差的绝对值大于该预设角度阈值,发出提示信息,该提示信息用于指示该车辆正在修正该角度偏差。比如,该提示信息可以为文字或者某种标志。具体的,通过仪表以文字或者标志提示驾驶员“线控转向系统正在进行角度偏差修正,请驾驶员谨慎驾驶”。Furthermore, the method further includes: if the absolute value of the angle deviation between the steering wheel and the steering actuator is greater than the preset angle threshold, a prompt message is issued, and the prompt message is used to indicate that the vehicle is correcting the angle deviation. For example, the prompt message can be text or a certain sign. Specifically, the instrument prompts the driver with text or a sign that "the wire-controlled steering system is correcting the angle deviation, please drive carefully".
